[Pettings are nice but he's hungry and he can't reach the cubes of the table. He looks on that direction and then back up at Kagerou.] Yiiiiiiip. [Puppy eyes, get.]

[thxforthememories]

[Oh yeah. He sees what's happening here.]

... Stay quiet.

Stay.

[He holds out a hand, to emphasize the point, before moving to collect one of the cubes for the creature. If Frank stayed put... he'll get a treat.]

[raceme]

[That's why he likes you, because you give him pettings and food are smart.

He waits, his many tails wagging like crazy in the prospect of food.]

[thxforthememories]

[It's a small one. But, true to his word, he does bring back a little cube.]

Good dog.

Here.

1/2

[raceme]

YIIIIIIIIIIP! [He didn't mean to be so loud but FOOOOOOOD. Frank jumps excitedly around Kagerou, licks his face and then moves to devour the cube.]

2/2

[raceme]

[All that noise, though, caught certain blue bot attention.] Ihopeitsnothighgrade....

[thxforthememories]

[His head jerks back, surprised, before he shakes it, and keeps on playing with the creature's ears.]

[He doesn't look up at Blurr's voice, though his wings flick a little.]

It's not. I wouldn't give him that.

[raceme]

Sorry, I did _{not mean} to scare you. [Blurr gives him an apologetic look.]

Thanks. You don't want to see him when he's excited, trust me on that.

[thxforthememories]

It's fine. I was just startled.

[He runs his fingers under the creature's chin.]

I know. They're hard to handle when they become too excited...

[raceme]

[Frank quickly finished the cube and he always welcomes more pettings and attention.]

They? You had a pet too? You never told me.

[thxforthememories]

Ah... no. He wasn't a pet.

... Just very much like his animal mode, sometimes.

[raceme]

Ah, an animal alt mode, like you turn into a giant bird. Interesting choices. Did he like being petted too? [Blurry smiled, clearly joking.]

[thxforthememories]

They weren't our choices.

[He's suddenly very interested in playing with the fox.]

... I like to think he did, sometimes.

[raceme]

I keep for-get-t-ing that humans built you, sorry. Flying easily like that must be fun _{I still} more often than not.

[Frank yips and tries to lick Kagerou's hand. Meanwhile, Blurr's smile soften.]

Do you miss him a lot, don't you? You _{are always} talking about a friend but you never told me his name.

[thxforthememories]

Do you really?

[He'd thought it was pretty obvious, himself. He holds his hand back though, giving the canine a look.]

[No, bad.]

I... [There's a flicker of something very painful in his face, before he smooths his expression.] Yes. I do. He... was the only one back there who ever cared about me at all.

[raceme]

Yes. You are _{your own} person after all.

[No, to Blurr it wasn't.]

Yiiiiiiip. [The turbofox's ears drop. He was showing appreciation, really. ]

[Blurr's eye get brighter for a second before he lowers his gaze.]

I don't want to make you remember painful memories but I want you to know that it's not the case anymore. A lot of people care for you here. I do.

[thxforthememories]

Sometimes I wonder if that's true.

[He looks back down, and goes back to absently rubbing the creature's ears. It's weirdly comforting to him.]

Remembering him... it's not what hurts. [It's then remembering he's alone here.] I know. I know there are friends here... but it's different.

[raceme]

Yes, I know. [You always seems to doubt yourself, Blurr noticed it. It worries him more than he wants to admit.]

Were you and him like...eh..Rewind and Chromedome?

[thxforthememories]

Like Rewind...?

[He lets that question sink in for a minute or two, then shakes his head.]

I don't know how he felt. I... can't speak for him. So I'll never know the answer to that.

[raceme]

Yes. Chromedome is his conjunx endura and vice versa.

[Basically paired. Married.]

Perhaps he will come here one day. You could ask him.

[thxforthememories]

Then... no. We weren't like that.

[Since he has no idea what that word even means. But, it's probably a safe bet to say "no". How could he be anything like Rewind?]

It feels as if I've been waiting too long already.

[raceme]

If it's of any consolation I don't have nay-body like that either. Not many people does.

[Blurr puts a hand on Kagerou's arm, trying to get hi s attention from the turbofox.]

Days might feel like eons sometimes but you _{still have a} long time to live, you never knows what life can bring. There is no evil that lasts a hundred years.

[thxforthememories]

Why not?

[He keeps his eyes on the animal, for as long as possible. It's easier, somehow. He can relate to canines. Other robots... those are harder.]

... A long time to live?

[There's a quiet scoff, and he shakes his head. No, he doesn't. Not if what happened back home is any judge.]

It's already felt like a hundred years. Every day is... it's still hard. Being apart from him like this.

[raceme]

Why...? [Blurr looks taken aback by the question and then shrugs.] It's not as if I wouldn't like something like that BUT it probably won't ever happen.I did have someone once but things didn't go as planned.

[Ey, if it helps. Blurr won't say anything.]

I'm sorry, I wish there were more I could do.

[thxforthememories]

Why wouldn't it?

[He's like a kid asking questions he doesn't realize are stupid. Or shouldn't be asked, really.]

[He shrugs a bit.]

There isn't anything to be done. I... have to accept it. Somehow.
